Did Seth Rogen post our first look at Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) and Arseface (Ian Colletti)? It certainly looks that way, but beyond the picture that looks exactly like them, the only details we have are the #Preacher in the tweet.
The AMC series, Preacher, is based off a comic by the same name published by Vertigo Comics and written by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. The preacher in the title is named Jesse Custer, a small-town minister possessed by the Voice of God that allows him to make people do whatever he says (so long as they both hear and understand his words). Arseface is a tragic character who’s face was turned inside out when he tried to kill himself but failed. He eventually joins Custer on his mission in the hopes of finding redemption.

If this picture is indicative of the entire series, this will be both a beautiful and amazing show. Sure, it’s just one picture, but it’s a very encouraging picture.
Preacher follows Reverend Jesse Custer, a tough Texas preacher who has lost his faith, and has learned that God has left Heaven and abandoned his responsibilities. He finds himself the only person capable of tracking God down, demanding answers, and making him answer for his dereliction of duty. Accompanying Jesse on his journey is his former girlfriend and a friendly vampire who seems to prefer a pint in the pub to the blood of the innocent. On his tail is one of the most iconic bad guys in print – an immortal, unstoppable killing machine named the Saint of Killers —a western lone gunman archetype whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill Jesse.
Preacher will premiere during the 2015-16 television season on AMC.
